The Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) is a modular, DIY, low-cost, high-performance platform that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different Industrial Machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.
Shapeoko 2 is a simple, low cost, open source CNC milling machine kit that can be built over a weekend. Assembly is required before you can use it.
This is version 2 of the fastest selling CNC machine in the history of the world. The machine has been under development for the last five years. Edward Ford has been designing, redesigning, and building what he hoped would be a CNC machine that anyone can build. This machine is by far his best one yet.

RepRaptakes the form of a freedesktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself – a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that – if you’ve got a RepRap – you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend…
RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too.
Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. Our community portaland New Development pages have more information on how to get involved. Use the links below and on the left to explore the site contents. You’ll find some contenttranslated into other languages.
RepRapwas the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution. It has become the most widely-used 3D printer among the global members of the Maker Community.

64 button midi controller in a custom poplar enclosure, built to provide a physical interface to computer software. The design is based on Arduinome, an open-source Monome alternative. Each button has an led which can be coded to light on button press and/or display information. Essentially a blank slate to build on. (source: nooswane.com)
Developed in 2005 by CalArts Alum Brian Crabtree, the original Monome has become of the most widely used, open-source computer music controllers of all time. In 2008, Jordan and Owen set out to create a software-compatible clone of the Monome using the Arduino Microcontroller. A cheaper alternative to the typically expensive Monome, there are over 1000 Arduinomes in the wild and counting. More recently in 2011, Owen began releasing schematics and code related to an updated Arduinome called the Chronome, integrating RGB LEDs and pressure sensitivity.(source: MTIID)
CUBIT is an interactive surface for multitouch interactions. It was designed with the intention to redefine visual computing and depart from the mouse pointer paradigm. Fingers are seen as points of location, areas of contact, and vectors. Based on these sensory inputs the interface tries to generate graphical widgets which behave along preconceived human notions of physical objects.
